Bruno Miguel Borges Fernandes (born 8 September 1994) is a Portuguese footballer who plays for Primeira Liga club Sporting CP and the Portugal national team as a midfielder. Fernandes started his career at Serie B side Novara Calcio and soon featured for Udinese and Sampdoria in Serie A.
In 2017, he signed with Sporting CP where he established himself as one of the best players in the Primeira Liga. He was named the LPFP Primeira Liga Player of the Year in both 2017–18 and 2018–19. In the latter season, he also helped Sporting win the Taça de Portugal. A senior international since 2017, Fernandes represented Portugal at the 2016 Summer Olympics and 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Manchester United produced a stunning second half performance to defeat Roma 6-2 in Thursday night’s Europa League semi-final first leg.
Edinson Cavani and Bruno Fernandes both netted twice as Paul Pogba and Mason Greenwood also got themselves on the scoresheet in a memorable victory.
Boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - who led his side to a fifth semi-final in two seasons but is aiming for a first final - made two key selection choices with David De Gea preferred to Dean Henderson as goalkeeper with Cavani starting upfront with Greenwood a substitute.
It puts United in a position of supreme authority going into next week’s second leg in Rome, with the Serie A side needing to score four goals without reply.
